They clearly did not.
They lost a significant portion of their offense in a horrible display of asset management, and added a 23 year old developing d-man that they're now going to throw into the deep end of that putrid defense with the expectations of being a saviour.
In no way does that series of events equate to there being no dispute that the Oilers "got better" yesterday. You need to give your head a shake, because that is a huge stretch.

Yes, because they have a surplus of forwards, and a weakness of defenseman. They traded from a position of strength to shore up their weakness.
Halls goals will be replaced, probably by a more well-rounded winger. Saying a loss of goals as a reason as to why the Oilers haven't gotten better means you don't understand hockey, because a loss of goal scoring is just as much of a problem as giving up more goals.
